Harmonic analysis encompasses a tremendous variety of problems, but the field is united by the technique of studying functions and operators in terms of simpler but highly informative building blocks. While rooted in classical analysis, the field lies at the interface of several different areas of mathematics such as partial differential equations, several complex variables, analytic number theory, additive combinatorics and algebraic geometry.

The objective of the workshop is to bring together an international group of experts and graduate students with a diversity of research interests within harmonic analysis who would be able to provide a comprehensive overview of the development of the field and many of its core problems.

There is still some limited funding available for junior participants from Canadian universities. If you would like to apply for funding, please send an email to ha.conference.madison@gmail.com with a brief statement regarding your interest in the conference, and an explanation of your funding needs. Graduate students should also have their advisor send a brief letter of recommendation to this email address. Applications for funding will be evaluated on a rolling basis, and thus should be submitted soon. Those applying for reimbursement for airfare should consult the organizers before purchasing airfare.
